Crispy Parmesan Asparagus (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
02 -
1 bundle of green asparagus (about 250g or half a pound)
→ For the marinade
03 -
Sea salt to your taste
04 -
2 tablespoons high-quality olive oil
05 -
1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
06 -
Freshly ground black pepper to your liking
# Instructions:
01 -
Give the asparagus a good rinse under cool water and dry them off with a clean towel. Bend the stalks gently to remove the tough, woody parts—this will naturally snap where needed.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, stir together the olive oil, paprika, Parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of salt, and some black pepper until it forms a thick coating mixture.
03 -
Toss the asparagus with the Parmesan mixture so they're evenly covered. Lay them flat in the basket of your air fryer, and pour any leftover sauce over the top.
04 -
Cook the asparagus in the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for around 12 minutes. Keep an eye on it—the stalks should be tender yet firm, and the cheese should turn crispy and golden.
# Notes:
01 -
Depending on how thick your asparagus is, cook time can differ. Slimmer stalks might only need 8–10 minutes.
